Hurricane Newsreport

georgiaj1 on

 

In Social Studies, Mr. Washerstein asked us to create a news report about a hurricane. The purpose of this assignment was to inform us and our class about what can happen with a hurricane. I choose Hurricane Fiona. I learned a lot throughout the duration of this project. Did you know that the damages of hurricanes can cost the government billions of dollars in damage fixing and that a full city can get demolished? 

If I did this project again I would try to spend more time understanding my research and writing the facts down.

Jewish Values Project

Jewish Values Project

We were told to find 3 Jewish values for this project and create a presentation about them. We needed to think about why these values are essential and connect them to our own lives. We also had to research and find Jewish texts that connected to the values we selected. the three Jewish values I chose were Responsibility ערבות, Appreciation הכרת הטוב, and From Generation to Generation ודור לדור.   these values spoke to me because I think that it is important to take responsibility, appreciate what you get and bring things from generation to generation. Judaism cares about how Jewish people act. I also found that it was hard to navigate the Jewish text and explain them in my own words.
